(2) Support International Year Against Apartheid!

On December 14th 1977, along with the majority of UN member states, NZ voted in favour of designating 1978 as International Year Against Apartheid. Few New Zealanders realise the government has taken this stand, and even fewer realise what it commits it to doing.

In fact, the government has done almost nothing. Thus the effect of the June 16 mobilisation will be to mark the Year, to bring it to the attention of New Zealanders and to call on the government to honour its promises.
